New Orlean: [Conespoudence of the Herald.] New Orueans, Feb. 27, 1844. Important Political Movements—Democratic Tri- wmph—Doinga of Henry Clay—Prospects—Trade —Decline in Cotton, &c. Dear Bennett:— The whig Convention met in our city last Thurs- day, under the auspices of his Excellency Henry Clay, who, you must know, has been here tor the last two months, on a little business of his own, which is no body’s business, occasionally making visits to the most distant parts of the State. The Convention met in one of our churches (not an un- usual thing inthis country to make religion subser- vient to politics,) which they erected into a vast stage. Audience, speakers, Presidents, Secretaries, were all assembled on it, and while one of the ora- tors (Mr. Prentiss, a lion, brought to the city for this occasion) was holding forth—the staging gave way with an awful crash, and precipitated the whole, some 6 or 8 feet into a confused mass, bru sing and injuring a large number of persons, among whom was 5. J. Peters, and others, whose names could not be learned. ‘The Convention then adjourned to the Arcade, in Magazine street, where the meeting was marked with the violent death of a leadin; Twogood, Esq. On the next day, Hairy Clay ad- dressed the multitude with a speech, from the por- tico of the St. Charles Hotel, after which the Con- vention dismissed, and Henry Clay left the city for Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina; and Virginia, in each of which States, itis said, he has alittle business to transact in the way of President al 8 While this farce was acting, the democrats got up aplay in theirown peculiar way. The whigs had selected C. Roseltas to fill the vacancy inthe Senate created by A. Hoa. Mr. Roselias was President of the Clay Club, and brought out under the auspices of Henry Clay. No ‘one, it was supposed, could beat this strong man of the whigs—bets ran high—he democrats kept quiet, selected their man, J. Slidell, Esq.,although scarce- known, and went their whole strength upon hin. he result wasa triumphant election, beating the great wie lion by over 300 majority. Consideri thatall this has taken place in the strong hold of the whigs, where they have carried every thing for the last twenty-five years, it isa great vic- tory, It is now clear to my mind, and has been since the last election for members of Congress, that Henry Clay can never get the vote of this State. In April next,the democrats will, no doubt, carry the city elections by a large majority, We have had most lovely, weather for ten whig, D. H. days past, as warm and mild as the month of May. ‘The 22d was celebrated by a glorious turn out of the different societies and the military. At an early hour the military turned out in great num- bers, and by 10 o’clock the great square was filled with troops. Shortly after, they took up their line of march for the battle ground, where they had a sham battle. This was one ofthe most brilliant 1s Lever beheld, and from the order and dis- cipline observed, it approached very near to a real battle. After the sham fight, then came the grand review by the Governor and hati, and several Gen- erals and military guests of the regular army, who acknowledged they never saw troops behave and look better. Since I last wrote se cotton has declined a half cent, and will probably go much lower. Our banks are doing but little business; they have got back into the hands of bankrupt directors and presidents, who will probably, with their friends finish them A few speculators have been trying to push up their stocks, but they have all been caught, and you can find no one who wants bank stock, since they have got back into such hands, at any price. Poor, broken down Union. has at last got her quietus. She has gone into liquidation, and her {ate President, C. Adams, into obscurity, from RC. which he ought never to have risen. Philadelph: (Correspondence of the Herald.] Puutapenrmta, March 4th, 1844. Facts for the People—The Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad—The Camden and Amboy Railroad Company— The Dangers of Travelin. In justice to the travelling portion of our commu- nity, I think it high time that they should be made acquainted with the facts, viz: The dangerous state of the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad.— Not that I wish any disparagement to this road, but that the Company may be induced to pay some regard, in time, to the safety of the travel- ling public. If a paper independent enough can be found in New York or Philadelphia to pub- lish the same, and I have no doubt that the Herald (which | have always found to be of that indepen- dent spirit) will do so, It is a well known fact, in 1832-33, the Legislature of Pennsylvania incorpo- rated the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad Com- pany, for the express purpose of establishing a com- petition on the Pennsylvania side of the river Dela- ware, in the transportation of produce and gers, against the Camden and Amboy R Company. What followed? As soon as thePhilad phia and Trenton Railroad was completed, the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company bought up enough of the stock of that company to control its operations, and from that period the Trenton and Philadelphia Railroad became a mere adjunct to the Camden and Amboy Company, and it has been suffered to go out of repair. Now, in justice to those whose lives are put in jeopardy by travelling upon this road, I think it right to state that itis in a most deplorable condition, the bridges and trussel work are propped (so much decayed are the timbers) that should any of these slight and temporary fixtures give way, which now totter un- der the weight of the locomotive, and evidently must (if nothing is done soon) hurry many now living, into eternity without a moment's warning. The sleepers upon which the rails are laid have be- come imbedded inthe ground, and so much de- eayed, that the spikes work loose, continually lia- ble to what is termed snake heads. ‘The little tra- vel carrying the United States Mail, only to keep good the charter, is governed and controlled exclu- sively by the Camden and Amboy Railroad Com- pany, perverting the great end for which it was ori- ginally constructed by the commonwealth of Penn- sylvania, to facilitate the sordid schemes of a league of corporations, who, when once in possession of every inland communication between our large ci- ties, care little for the interest of their citizens, or the safety of their lives or property, so they reap the reward. Now, before concluding, let me urge that the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad be im- mediately repaired, or at once abandoned ; one of the two things must be done, aad that very shortly; or Tam afraid se will soon have to record one of the most awful accidents that ever occurred upon any railroad. Wearrn ov Caxapa,—The township of Whitby, in Canada West, exported last year agricultural products to the value of £44,746 10s. currency, or $173,956.

Dear Sir :— I drop youa line ex passant on my way to Wash- ington. In the first place, should you feel disposed, as it is hoped you will, to visit Washington this spring, I take the liberty of recommending you in spite of all inducements to the contrary, to stop in Phila- delphia, and spend your first night at Rea’s splendid United States Hotel. If i: were not immortalized by President Tyler and Cabinet when on their pil- grimage to Bunker Hill, it has since been by the visits of the son of Count Bertrand, and His E:x- eellency Mr. Pakenham. You are right in the steereehy of Mr, Pakenham’s name, there is no cinit. His name is plainly written with his own hand upon Mr. Rea’s book of arrivals. He is very highly spoken of here at this house. Mr. Ufford says he came in himself, unannounced, having (as was afterwards ascertained) his Secretary and all his retinue at the door, and inquired if the British Consul had engaged Toms for him. Mr, Ufford replied that something had been satd about it, but he thought Mr. Pakenham would not come.” ‘I am the man,” said he, and wrote his name in the book. He is represented as a_very plain, unas- suming, business-like farmer. I suppose Queen Vi a thinks we can best appreciate plain sub- stantial people, and that bee are best adapted to negociate with a plain republican government. It is said here, by those who claim to know, that Robert Tyler is elected President of the “old line” Repeal Association of this city, and that he will come here on the 18th instant, and take the chair thereof. The 18th, I believe is St. Patrick’s day. It appears to have given some dissatistation to many of the Repealers, who wanted a Mr. Ilood to be elected. ries They have also invited Mr Pakenham to attend sundry of their festivities, which come off on the 20th inst. The Irish nativity of Mr. Pakenham, will doubtless feel quite as much complimented by this invitation of the Repealers, as the English na- tivity of the mistress who appointed him. Mr. Biddle’s funeral is spoken of as a meagre affair. He is said tohave died poor, and little la- mented. New Yorx, March 6, 1544. To Mynprrt Van Scuta) a Sr :— Tt appears by the public prints that your name is mingled up among the adroit actors who have so successfully, and yet with such entire innocence, evaporated the capital and destroyed the North American Life and Trust Company. Your friends know what the public do not understand, that causes of domestic anxiety have probably prevent- ed your attention to the affairs and management of that concern, while you have incautiously lent the use of your good name to the busy actors in that most impure and ruinous agency. ‘The public expect, and have a right to hear from you under your signature. Your situation, if you remain in silence, cannot be without discredit.— Your case is not unlike that of one of the two damsels. “ Sall said to her friend Sue “Pll no longer keep company with you, “ For you have not one veatage of character left * And I have not enough for two.” Respectfully, Your Frignp. , Esa Very Important From Havana.—Intelligence of a very important character from Havana has been received at New Orleans. It is to the 21st ult. {Correspondence of the New Orleans Tropic.} Havana, Feb. 21.—In political affairs we are sorry to say there is food for deep thought. The first instance almost, in which the people have dared to resist the authorities has now passed, and we may say that we have come to the beginning of the beginning. When the ending will be, we dare not imagine. The circumstances are briefly these: the authorities “for and in consideration,” &e. ordered that on such nights as there were bails in the ‘ con Theatre, all cafés and places of pte refreshment in the suburbs should be closed, at 11 !’. M., excepting only those attached to the theatre, giving, thereby, to the owner of the theatre, Mr. Marti, 8 most extraordinary mo- ‘On the first night the cafes were closed, but the ho were turned out of them were highly excited. ond night the “ Caféde Escaurisa,” was crowd od, and at 11 o'clock the police with a posse of soldiers pro- ceeded to clear and close the house—they had cleared the whole upperportion,and closed all the doors but one,which was left partially open, but guarded, in order to allow the egress of those that yet remained within when the im- mense crowd that had collected outside made a rush at the doors, forced the one that was partially open, breaking the binges and rushing over the soldiers, opened the house, relighted the lamps, and asmall masked band of music stationed themselves in the upper saloon, and the people began dancing, and continued until 3 o’clock in the morn- ing; the theatre was meanwhile deserted; at the first r of the crowd, the soldiers endeavored to’ stop them with loaded muskets and fixed bayonets, but even after they were n inforced, they were resisted and threatened with sticks and chairs—the offi finding his force insut- ficient, retired. No shots were fired, and but one person, we believe, was wounded, and that was with a bayonet, in the shoulder. The Café was closed in the morning by the authorities, and has not since been opened, althoug! it is said that the owner, Mr. Escaurisa, has been indirect- ly informed that he might open, andthe Government would not notice it, but he answered that he had taken le- against the oificers who thus closed his house in face of his “license,” and that if the Government hed the house opened, they must do it in a public man- Meanwhile, the excitement among the people in- ci . They are very much elated that the soldiers did not dare to fire upon them, and that they gained their ob ject. Last night the paseo and streets around the café Were so crowded that the government,fearing a riot,drew out adetachment of troops to disperse the people, who setired sullenly, but without offering opposition. ' That this affair will, run through the Island with lightniny xpeed, no one doubts,and rumor and exaggeration will add to it watil it will be poets to distinguish the true from the false. Unfortunately we have no free press,and no ver- sion, whatever will be disseminated by the public papers ‘Thus will rumor inflame the minds of the people against the Government, already but too little liked and the morale of this affair will be felt for years to come. And what is the cause ofall thie? That a young and impetuous Gover- nor gave an unjust monopoly that has heretofore been refused by every xuccessive Governor since the Thea- tre waa built, Nota few other acts have indicated that young and hot blood should not wield the tremendous power possessed by the Governor of Cuba, where in the present state of feeling a single false step will plunge the island into @ worse than civil war. ‘Three instead ef two would be the combatants. A negro race, bred unt 1 the prime of life in savage wills, then transported and forci- bly held in a bondage which they are ever willing to throw off by an indiscriminate massacre aud devastation, would form a third host. The recent developments near Matanzas, cause every well wisher to tremble when he thinks upon the terrible fire that burna,though smothered, ever too fiercely, without contemplating the terrific evils that would be poured out upon us in the case of the white race being divided against each other. That we are on a volcano is too true. Not aday passes but indicates that coming events are casting their dark shadows betore.— The grinding exactions of the government are fast de- stroying the agricultural interests, and turning a larger body of weattny and influential men, whose whole inte- rests hang upon the preservation of peace and order, into @ body of ruined, reckless d whose only hope and longing will be for change,change,and whoseonly change is disorder. If Spain will govern this Island with an iron hand, it should be cased in a velv 4) ind even then should be wielded by one who has lost passions and impulses of youth. But a few disastrons years like th three last will suitice to raise the cry “ Mueran los E: panoles”-—" Death to the Spaniards ” This is but a beginning of the end in the opinion of many. The Cubans have long been getting tired of being linked to Spain at an expense of $12,000, 00 a year with the intrigues of England for the abolition of slavery thrown in, and we should not be surprised to hear that a mere theatrical émeute should end in an entire separation between the inother country and the island.
